Chapter 150: Diversion

Central Street, Johannesburg, South Africa.

A convoy with flags of South Africa and Sierra Leone at the front of the car sped along the road, and four high-powered BMW police motorcycles flashed police lights, and the convoy was in charge of opening the road with two fronts and two behind. At each intersection, one of the police motorcycles will stop, stop all passing vehicles, and wait for the convoy to pass before speeding up to catch up with the team.

In addition to four BMW police cars, there are two police station BMW sedans and two Chevrolet SUVs in front of and behind, with three bulletproof Mercedes in between.

The cars were crammed with bodyguards, especially in two SUVs, each with 10 heavily armed STF special task force members.

Kamala is in the middle of the convoy in a Mercedes-Benz S600, this car has been strictly modified and custom-made from Germany, a gift from a British diamond merchant to Kamala, a regular 7. A 62-caliber assault rifle could not penetrate the body even with armor-piercing shells with an all-steel core, even if it was 12. 7 LARGE-CALIBER MACHINE GUNS FIRED AT THE BODY, AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PENETRATE THE BULLETPROOF ARMOR UP TO 2CM THICK IN A SHORT TIME.

The reason for such high-level security measures is that the police have been receiving information from various sources since the day before yesterday, and some people want to attack Kamara.

"Guard No. 1, call the main station."

In the BMW police car behind the two open-road motorcycles, Lieutenant Adams picked up the walkie-talkie.

"I'm Guard No. 1, please tell me something."

"There is a gas pipeline leak in the Horton residential area next to Central Street, and municipal engineering personnel are currently rushing to repair this section of the road, please detour."

Lieutenant Adams frowned, the road was not in good shape, which was not a good sign.

He reached out on the car computer to pick a new route, and today's destination is the town hall conference building in Johannesburg, according to the normal driving route, just pass through Central Street, go to Oxford Road, drive a few kilometers and turn into Goch Road, then drive two kilometers to turn left to reach City Hall.

Now it is obvious that we cannot continue on the central street, the time for the repair of the gas leak is uncertain, and the relevant officials of the African League and the important officials of the Kaba government are already waiting in the conference building of the city hall, and if we continue to walk on the central street, we will definitely be blocked, and no one can afford to delay the meeting at that time.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant Adams complained a little displeased about the warlord leader in the bulletproof car behind him, "If it weren't for that damn warlord who spent all night drinking and messing around too late last night, he wouldn't have gone out so late today, it's really unlucky......"

The GPS on the on-board computer was connected to the police department's system, and the best route was quickly selected - go about 200 meters, detour to the right into a side road next to the zoo, then turn into Westcliff Block, enter Oxford Road, you can avoid the gas leak repair point, and return to the original route, just one more kilometer, without much delay.

"Main station, we have re-selected the route, and it has been sent to your command center, please receive it in time."

A few seconds later, the sweet voice of the police officer on duty came from the main station, "Escort No. 1, the new route has been received, and the police stations along the way have been notified to cooperate in clearing the road, you can continue to move forward, please keep in touch." ”

The lead BMW motorcycle, receiving new route directions from Lieutenant Adams, turned into the auxiliary road leading to the zoo.

"Huh? How did the route change? Sitting in a Mercedes-Benz S600 with a glass of 30-year-old Scotch whisky in his hand, Kamala was sensitively aware of the team's change of course, "What's wrong!?" ”

His hand shook, and the small amount of wine in his glass almost overflowed the rim.

This is a modified Mercedes-Benz S600, the rear seats have been widened and lengthened, and the first row of seats has been changed to two rows, which has been converted from a high-end business vehicle to a luxury RV.

Sitting across from Kamala was a British black diamond dealer, Percy, a well-known expert in the diamond reselling industry, but almost no one knew about his existence in other industries, and even large companies like De Beers often had to buy diamonds from him because he could get some high-quality rough diamonds that no one else could get.

The reason why he is said to be a black merchant is because many of his diamonds are commonly known as "war diamonds" in the circle, and Parcy will be found in the war-torn diamond-producing areas on the earth, and his strong connections and communication skills make him like a fish in water among these terrorist warlords, and he earns him a lot of money.

Kamala and Passy bonded at the beginning of the civil war in Sierra Leone, and the finest diamonds from the warlord-controlled areas were transported around the world through Passy's hands, into the hands of large corporations like De Beers, and then sent to secret warehouses to be numbered and stored, waiting to be sold.

Kamala, who had suffered a heavy blow in the Sierra Leone operation, had to find a new way out, and that retreat was, of course, Pasi. Tempted by the high-quality diamond resources, Passy once again acted as a bridge of communication between the British government, the African Union, the Kaba government and Kamala and Sankoh, and after some bargaining, the two sides reached a final agreement - Kamala and Sankoh's FRA rebels disarmed all their arms, released all the peacekeepers who were ambushed and captured by the United Front while on duty in Sierra Leone, and handed over all the controlled areas to the Kabbah government for a temporary basis, and held a national election a year later, and Sankoh could get a fair chance to run.

In fact, everyone knows that under the influence of the British government, Sankoh has almost no chance of winning, but the Kaba government gave him a sweetness in order to appease Sankoh - whether he is elected president or not, Sankoh can get at least the position of vice president or above in the government.

After all, Kamara's situation at that time was very bad, tying up eleven soldiers of the British army, and indirectly causing the death of one of them, and the troops suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the British Air Assault Brigade and the Kaba government army, and its important branch "Western Boys" was completely annihilated.

At this time, in Kamara's hands, the only bargaining chip was the hundreds of West African peacekeepers he had captured.

At this time, the Kaba government and the British military simply grabbed a good card in their hands, but they suddenly turned the rudder and gave Kamara such a beautiful way out, which surprised everyone from all walks of life.

However, the Herald, a small newspaper in Britain that did not sell well, broke the grapevine that a diamond merchant named Passy, as a broker, offered very "difficult to refuse" conditions for MPs and important military figures in the British Empire, in exchange for the bargaining chips of Sankoh and Camara.

Of course, the newspaper sold very little, and the sound it made was like a pebble thrown into a pond, and no one noticed the ripples.

This time in Johannesburg, Kamala came to talk to Kaba government officials, the African Union, the British military, and high-level government officials.

Of course, as for the people who died in the civil war, and the so-called war crimes, these are just farts in the wilderness, and when the wind blows, they disappear.

However, what made Kamara most uneasy was that in the past few days, his people have received various messages in a row, saying that the Chinese mercenary called Ghost in the ghost team has targeted Kamara, and that he has arrived in South Africa, in Johannesburg, and was involved in the shootout of the Ponte City apartment the night before.

This made the South African authorities and the Johannesburg police very nervous, after all, South Africa played an important role in this peace negotiation, and if Camara had died in Johannesburg, I am afraid that some high-ranking officials in the South African authorities and the British authorities, as well as those mercenary diamond merchants, would not have received any of the benefits promised by the original United Front.

"I'm Patsy, why did you change course?" The Black Diamond Merchant picked up the car phone and pressed Lieutenant Adams' communication code.

"Mr. Passy, there was a gas leak in front of Central Avenue and it was being repaired, so we had to take a detour."

"Really? Are you sure there are no problems? ”

"No problem, sir......"

"Minor problem, gas leak in front, is being repaired, so temporary diversion." Putting down the phone, Patsi raised his glass again, "General Kamara, I congratulate you in advance on this glass, after the negotiation is over, you will have a new beginning, maybe your few high-quality diamond mines will be exchanged for your good life......"

Kamara smiled and raised his glass, "Patsy, my old friend, I will not forget my promise that after the negotiations, you will also receive the most beautiful diamond ...... in the world that I treasure."

"Cheers ......"

The two of them stretched out their hands, and before the cups touched, suddenly there was a loud bang outside the car, followed by a sharp sound of brakes.

The two almost collided, and the glass fell to the ground, and the golden liquor dried on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Kamala's face turned white.
